THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE IN TOWN!

Fortunately, answered door in dressing gown and holding toast, so standing around for ages not an option. And they were also just handing out leaflets. Offered them ginger biscuits, and they were like 'omg, really?'. Must be true what dad says about them not getting to eat much...

'um, I'm an atheist'
'well, we also talk about that kind of false religion in the pamphlet'
'I went to a church of england school and I know the bible back to front'
'oh. um...'
'ginger biscuit?'

:narrows eyes: Silke hid. Coward.

One of these days I'm going to not be in the middle of something when they call and be able to do a Bernard in Black Books.

My mum actually did that once. They were in our front room arguing for hours. I thought they'd never leave.

Here via friends-friends. That conversation there made me laugh.

That is all.

What exactly is a Bernard in Black Books? I've never heard of that before.

Black Books : mad, insane comedy about life in a book shop and its workers.

Bernard Black : alcoholic manic-depressive nutter, owns the place.

One episode, Bernard opens the door to the Jehovahs, invites them because he's on one of his cheerful upswings and they talk and argue religion for ages.

I checked Wikipedia--no wonder I've never heard of that show or anything related to it, since it's from England.

Last time I encountered the JW, one of them followed me to my car, trying to get me to explain why I wasn't interested and I actually had to strongly imply that if he didn't back off, I was calling the cops. I'm politely not-interested until someone starts forcing the issue. Then I get crabby.
